Awesome Josh!   Jealous as in all my time in AK, Goat was the one animal I didn't get for one reason or another.  Congrats on a fantastic and hard earned trophy Billy!

I like to use these threads as a means of journaling my hunts and experiences year to year. Sorry to keep adding to it but figured I’d add a few more pics relative to the hunt. Itll be a while before my mount is done so I had Bugs n Bones do a euro for now. Sorry if the pics are annoying.
Hope you enjoy them though!!





Into the beetles.











Now the wait begins for the real mount!

Very nice!

FWIW, when this thread was new, did anyone reply it should read "I'm due for a OIL permit long before I got one"?  :chuckle:
